This is not a seperate relay it is part of the integrated relay control module. It is located under the hood in the left (drivers) front corner. It also holds the PCM relay so yes this could be your problem.

Ok so have you been able to figure out weather it is fuel you are loosing or spark? Have you found the Integrated relay control module (IRCM)?

It is under the hood in the left (drivers) side front corner. Let me know what you find on the spark and yes this can cause stalling too.

I bet it is a crrimped fuel line from a rock hitting it off a wheel or something simular - I had that happen to a 1968 Torino - spent a ton of money replacing this and that - the metal fuel line was crushed - worked fine until the fuel was taken out of the line and replace by air - as it sat - the line would fill with fuel again and it would start right up. Trace the fuel line from the tank to the engine and look for damage.fule line

I do not feel it would be a fuel line as they put lots of metal shielding over them and they are not metal lines either they are plastic high pressure lines. In 68 they didn't do that they ran a metal line along the frame and called it good. Anyway did you figure out the problem yet?
